5 JfiLJCO NOT HEAL
Whenever a sore or ulcer does not heal, no matter on what part of the
body it may be, it is because of a poisoned condition of the blood. This
poison may be the remains of some constitutional trouble ; the effect of a
long spell of sickness, which has left this vital stream polluted and weak,
or because the natural refuse matter of the body, which should pass oil
through the channels of nature, has been left in the system and absorbed
into the circulation. It docs not matter how the poison became intrenched
in the blood, the fact that the sore is there and docs not heal is evidence of
a deep, underlying cause. There is nothing that causes more discomfort,
worry nd anxiety than a festering, discharging old sore that resists treat
ment. The very sight of it is abhorrent and suggests pollution and disease ;
besides the time and attention required to keep it clean and free from other
infection. As it lingers, slowly eating deeper into the surrounding flesh, the
Sufferer grows morbidly anxious, fearing it may be cancerous. Some
of those afflicted with an old sore or . . ... Brl.nU(l UH.
ulcer know how useless it is to ex-
pect a cure from salves, powders, lo
tions and other external treatment.
Throufih the use of these they have
seen the place begin to heal and scab
over, and were congratulating them
selves that they would soon be rid of
the detestable thing, when a fresh
suddIv of poison from the blood
would cause the inflammation and old discharge to return and the sore would
be as bad or worse than before. Sores that do not heal are not due to out
side causes; if they were, external treatment would cure them. They are
kept open because the blood is steeped in poison, which finds an outlet
through these places. While young people, and even children, sometimes
suffer with non-healing sores, "those most usually afflicted are persons past
middle life. Often, with them, a wart or mole on the face inflames and be
gins to ulcerate from a little rough handling ; or a deep, offensive nicer de
velops from a slight cut or bruise. Their vital energies and powers of re
sistance have grown less, and circulation weaker, and perhaps some taint in
the blood, which was held in check by their stronger constitutions of early

over and fills in with healthy flesh, and the skin regains its natural color.

haj Just received, "you needu't
mind about the rest. Tba dinner

The decorate.) tad of the big. iitmptu-
ous tttulio looked oddty distasteful to
Grrry Talbot tince the reading of Miaa
WakeneMs telegram, which had that-
tered hit enthusiaatic plaits. He bad iu
vited her and her brother tad hit wife
to a Christmas studio diuuer which ha
meant to make as festive as possible. Of
course, ber. rejection at the last hour
had been a gentle inretttion prepared to
avert a greater diapi"lntmeut. for ha
had let her know unmistakably bow It
wat with him, and he had been to hope
ful of succest that ht had selected a
ring for her C'hristmat gift a little gold
en circlet set with a clear white soli
taire. The streets were thronged with bust
ling Christmas shoppers, glad of heart,
with merry, expectant faces, and here
and there a wistful one. too, looking on,
I tit not buying, Talbot noticed two lit
tle girls gazing wistfully Into a confec
tioner's window.
"Yt'S, Min. 1 would. I'd do It fust
thing." said the taller of the two. "Oh,
my. wouldn't it be nice to ba rich tn'
im-ite all your friends to a big turkey
an' ice cream dinner!"
They were very poorly clad, thin
featured and Ill-notiriHh.'.l. but not un
pleasant to liok at. Talbot was con
rciotM, all at once, of an Inexplicable
impulse to gratify the child's wish.
"8o you would really lika to girt
your friends a Christmas dinner!" said
he. smiling down at her astonished eyes.
"I hare a great mind to let you have
your wish."
"Oh, dear me, Min!" gasped Lou. "1
can't hardly believe It, can you? It
sounds Just like a mnkehelieye thing.
Won't Mis' IVisey ba a'prised! An'
Jonas au' M'g au' Tom. Oh, won't they
be jest too pleased!"
"How many shall you invite?" Talbot
asked gravely, taking out his notebook.
"Well, there's Aunt Katie an' L'ncle
Tim an' the baby. Mis' Posey, Jonas
l''"gS". Meg an' I'st Kooley Si in, caa
you think of anyone else?"
"Lame Hetsy an' "Moll."
"How many's that?" asked Lou.
"Twelve, counting ns three."
"Iion't you think it would be nice
to have a little present besldt each
plate?" asked Talbot.
Both girls gasped, but looked Immense
ly pleased.
"Suppose you two go round with me
and pick out what you consider suitable
for each of your guests, because I should
not know what to select."
When Lou tppeared at the ttudio on
the following morning she was a very
different looking girl, and any one would
hava known by tha pure Joy of her
volet that some great and festive event
was at hand. Talbot had finished the
decorations which had been to harshly
interrupted by Miss Wakefield's ntes
mge, and the result was extremely grat
ifying, especially after Lou't rapturous
ai'cliintati'ins.
At precisely 12 o'clock the bell rang
for the tirst time to announce the ar
rival of Aunt Katie and Tim and the
baby, all polished anil prinked to the
verge of pniiifiilness. et came .Mi
1'osey, t little, faded, bowed, ancient
woman In rusty black, with long gold
loops in her wrinkled ears. Lame Betty
thumped in on Iter crutches, closely fol
lowed by Moll, in borrowed finery, of va
rious sizes. Meg brought blind Jonas,
ami a merry little wraith of a limn called
Tom Doom.
Tnlhot shook hands nil around with
a "Merry Christmas!" after which they
all look their places at the beautiful
table, thtt like of which none of that
humble party had ever looked upon. But
It was a kindly murines that possessed
the host of that bountiful dinner, for
his stories were of the pleasantest and
hit watchful cars wits iiiilliiKginic. His
guests rewarded his efforts by s sponta
neous enjoymeut of all that was set be
fore them. It was good to see them
wait upon blind Jonas, who could not
help himself, and upon lame Betty,
whose crippled hands made difficult the
use of knife and fork.
Talbot rose to replenish a half-emptied
pluta as the hall bell thrilled merrily.
There was a pit use; then Jiimes' iptlet,

CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES.
How tha Danger of I'artor Cotflaiirer
tloua May lie Minimised.
Several accidents on Christmas era
and day each year recall the fnct, appar
ent oltly on that day, that the Christ
mas tree is quite ns danxerous as it it
pretty, and that tht proud father per
sonating Santa Clsjta should take tht
precaution to equip hitmelf with asbet
tot whiskers. About the uul number
of 6ree art recorded In the country each
year at a result of the inflanintsM n
turt of the Christmas tree and Its dec
orations and their rsrelets hamllinii.
This warning always follows Christ
mat just as the outcry agiint toy pis
toll is raised after the Fourth of July.
Of cottrt no rose Is free from thorns,
and apparently no holidav enn be ob
served In the conventional fashion with
out risk of accident to the merrymakers.
Sputtering caudles on a Christmas tree
art a very real danger, and the same may
be said of the trees themselves, tht
wreaths of evergreen and the mistletoe.
After a day or two they become dry and
inflammable tn a hitfh drsree, and in tha
joy of the celebration rks are run and
precautions neglected. A tree thus load
ed down with presents and decorations
may become In au instant a torch caps
hie ot starting a disastrous tire, at many
cities discovered the other day, to their
great cost snd to the serious discomfort
of their fire departments.
By tsking preventive measures thou
sands of dollars will be saved every year.
Trees should bt bought late and kept
out doors until used. In the case of
fresh, green trees the risk will he mill

together and should tie constantly watch

be at hand, also a sponge on a pole loun

fiihtert. who every year have their own
Chrittmas spoiled by the neglect of these

CHRISTMAS IN 8WEDEN.
One Day When There Are Neither Rich
Nor Poor.
If you wert In Sweden on C'hristmat
eve you would hear the church bells be
gin to ring at 5 o'clock, for everybody
ttops work then and the festivities begin
lu great earnest everywhere in tht king
dom. Class distinctions are forgotten
and servants are allowed to sit at table
with the family. After supper comet
tht universal Christinas tree, for Sweeten
is one of the early homes of this beatitl
ful custom.
On Christmas morning st 0 o'clock,
while It is still dark, you would go to
church, for everybody goes, unless you
stayed at home to mind the lights in
the house, for every home in the king
dom is illuminated. There is olmost sure
to be a deep snow, and you would go
to church in a sleigh. Behind every
sleigh you would see two boys standing
on the runners and holding pine torches
a beautiful spectacle as a long pro
cession of sleiifhs glides over the snow
on s forest road. These torches art
ttuck up In s circle around the church.
A whole week Is given to good cheer and
hospitality.
The Christmas Traveler.
When Christmas day dawns many t
traveler will be unfortunate enough to
find liimelf far from home with no
prospect of gelling there for the celebra
tion of the greatest holiday of all tho
year. To many of these this necessary
absence is a bitter misfortune, but there
are others who have not the good fortune
to deem it such a misfortune. They
have perhaps no settled home or no rela
tives or no especial friends with whom
they yearti to be on the festal day. But
these people are comparatively few in
numlx-rs. Most of the people who are
traveling on Christmas day are doing to
because circumstances make It necessary.
They are longing every minute of tha
day to bn where they could join In tht
merriment and festivities with those who
are dearest to them.
